Berkeley iTunes U

Just saw this post on LibrarianInBlack about the UC-Berkeley iTunes U project. Someone mentioned this in a podcasting conversation in the past week or so and I completely forgot to look at it. Berkeley is definitely taking a more open approach to making course content available through iTunes than most schools. A few allow open access to certain courses, like the Purdue BoilerCast project, but nothing on this scale. I doubt that many will follow the lead but it is very cool that one of our major universities is taking that route.
